A funny story I know is that a young woman was catcalled by a guy on a bike. Instead of getting flustered, she took out her phone and started taking a 'selfie' as if he was part of the background scenery. The catcaller pedaled away really fast, clearly not expecting that reaction. This shows that sometimes a creative and unexpected response can turn an annoying situation into a funny one.
There was a situation where a catcaller was trying his luck with a lady who was carrying a lot of shopping bags. He made his comment, and she just looked at him and said 'Sorry, I'm too busy for this. I have to get home and feed my imaginary pet dragon.' It was such a random response that it left the catcaller speechless and everyone around in stitches.
There was this time when a group of friends were out. A catcaller tried to be smooth and called out to one of the girls. But she was really into martial arts. So she just did a little karate pose and shouted 'You don't want to mess with me!'. The catcaller was so shocked he just walked away quickly. It was hilarious.
Well, the trend of DIY haircuts in 2020 was quite funny. A lot of people attempted to cut their own hair when salons were closed. Some ended up with really strange and uneven hairstyles that they had to live with for a while. It was funny to see their before - and - after pictures on social media.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
One memorable story is about a lieutenant who accidentally sat on a freshly painted bench. His uniform got all smeared with paint, and he had to walk around like that for the rest of the day. His soldiers couldn't stop laughing whenever they saw him.
One memorable story is about a sports photographer. He was on the sidelines of a big football game. As a player was about to score a touchdown, he got so excited that he accidentally stepped into the field right as the player was running towards him. The player had to dodge him and the photo that was taken was of the player looking very confused and the photographer with a shocked expression. It became a viral photo for all the wrong reasons.
I heard of a preacher who was preaching on forgiveness. He told the story of a man who forgave his enemy but in the middle of it, he forgot the name of the main character in the story and just stood there stammering for a bit until someone in the congregation whispered the name to him. It was quite a funny moment.
I remember a story where a TFL train had some technical problems and stopped in between stations. While waiting for the engineers to fix it, the passengers started sharing their life stories. One man told a really long and outlandish story about how he once met a famous movie star in a very strange situation. Everyone was laughing so hard that they almost didn't notice when the train started moving again. There was also a case where a TFL worker accidentally painted a smiley face on a bus stop sign instead of the normal markings, and it became an unexpected tourist attraction for a while.
One memorable story is of a man who used his credit card to buy a very expensive, elaborate doghouse. He thought it was a great investment for his pet. But when his wife saw the bill, she made him return it. Another is a woman who tried to use her credit card to pay for a ride on a unicorn at a fair. The cashier just stared at her in disbelief. There was also a guy who thought his credit card had magical powers and could pay for things in other dimensions. So he waved it around in an empty lot trying to buy a castle. Needless to say, it didn't work.
